Y -- PREQUAL LIST DUE 031297 POC Contact,Frankie Guswiler,415/522-3401,Contracting Officer,Erica D. Wulf-Kam aka,415/522-3401 This is a notice of the General Services Administration's(GSA's) intent to establish a Pre-Qualified Small Business Contractors List for Construction Servi ces(Prequalified Contractors List) for the following geographic loca- tions in N orthern California(Region 9 of GSA)under the cognizance of the East Bay Field Of fice, including the Santa Rosa Federal Building, the Alameda Federal Center, the Vallejo Federal Building, and various lease locations in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and Solano Coun- ties. The Prequalified Contractors List will be tested by GSA for a two year period(the Test). The two year period will begin on April 1, 1997, and end on March 31, 1999. Should the Test of the use of the Prequalified Contractors List prove to be successful, GSA may continue to utilize, up- date, and maintain the list. The Prequalified Contractors List wi ll be limited to small business contractors, including small disadvantaged busin ess and small women-owned business concerns, interested in performing building r epair and alterations work(construction services) for GSA that have met certain minimum qualification standards regarding experience and past performance, that are capable of providing bonding or other payment protections for subcontractors, and that can meet other requirements regarding conducting business electronica lly. The Prequalified Contractors List will be used for projects costing more t han $2,000 but less than $100,000. General construction contractors as well as major trade contrac- tors(i.e., electrical, painting, asbestos removal, demoliti on, etc.) may apply for placement on the Prequalified Contractors List. The Sma ll Busi- ness Act requires that purchases between $2,500 and $100,000 be reserve d for small business concerns unless a determination is made that there is no re asonable expectation of obtaining quotations from two or more small business con cerns that will be competitive in terms of market price, quality and delivery. Therefore, contractors must be a small business concern in order to qualify for placement on the Prequalified Contractors List. Once a requirement for construc tion services is identified, GSA will only solicit quotes from firms on the Preq ualified Contractors List for purposes of performing individual construction pro jects. Small businesses placed on the Prequalified Contractors List will receiv e electronic noti- fication via E-mail or facsimile of contracting opportunities within the above referenced dollar range and will be invited to submit a quote either by E-mail or facsimile. Interested small business concerns should reques t an Application for Placement on the Prequalified Contractors List by con- tact ing Erica D. Wulf-Kamaka, Procurement Analyst, Tel.(415)522-3401, (E-Mail: eric a.wulf-kamaka@gsa.gov). Facsimile requests may be submitted to Erica D. Wulf-Ka maka, Procurement Analyst, FAX#(415)522-3310. Appli- cations will be available on or about February 14, 1997. Interested small business concerns may submit an Application any time, but are strongly encouraged to do so on or before March 1 2, 1997, since GSA will begin using the Prequalified Contractos List on April 1, 1997. Applications will be evaluated by GSA officials and small businesses wil l be advised within 30 days of receipt of their applications whether or not they have been placed on the Prequalified Contractors List.
